I have a mouse that have left and right move clicks on its scroll so I want to set these two to switch the desktop to left of right one accordingly. Thus, do you know any way to do that. I guess, need shell command to do that and then I need to bind these commands with the button but how?

By the way I do not know shell script well so for the coding tips and tricks can be also very helpful.

Thanks...
